[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 117084, member: 175144"] Hang 'em High Rolf.... The idea of ID cards was originally for the purpose of a one stop verification of the person carrying it, nothing more. This would adequately be covered by all UK citizens keeping a valid passport either on them, or available for viewing in a couple of hours notice. Even foreigners travelling or working in the UK could be catered for , as long as they did the same. The ID card however is unique to UK citizens if brought in. No other country will have a similar card, that is compatible with what is planned. So it will automatically discriminate the Italian on holiday over here, the Pole that has left their passport in the hotel room, or the Czech that got pickpocketed yesterday in London, when stopped by the Old Bill. Now I hear all the costs required to get this off the ground are going to be passed back to the carrier, through the charges made by the bank when using this form of ID as proof before a transaction, some estimates are in the region of £350 startup, and £120 annual fee. For that most could get the same verification by carrying their Sky card in the back pocket. [/QUOTE]
